This is THE most important ingredient when making gravies, stews and gumbo. Just as a building must begin with a good foundation, without a good "roux" to start with, the final product is destined to be doomed!

Ragin' Cajun Dark Roux

"Roux" is the essential ingredient to making a rich, dark gravy or gumbo. Can also be used to flavor stew. Just put a tablespoon or so in a pot or skillet, add about 1/2 cup of water, melt down the roux then add water until you get the thickness of gravy you like. Opps . . . added too much water? No problem, just add a little more roux! Add sauted onions, garlic, cellery and green pepper for seasoning. Add juices from whatever meat you are cooking and use as you would any other gravy.

Cajun - Creole "ROUX" -- (Pronounced "RU" or "ROO")
(Click for larger image of jar then use the "BACK" button on your browser to return to this page.)
 No doubt about it! This is the "Secret" ingredient for Cajun gravies, stews and gumbos. To make a Cajun "roux" from scratch takes time and patience. Flour and oil is simmered over a very low heat and must be constantly stirred until the desired color is achieved (Usually a dark brown). This can take up to 45 minutes. Should you be distracted for just a few seconds, you could scorch the roux and have to start all over. Now you can purchase this authentic roux already cooked by people who know how to "make a roux". Just add a couple of tablespoons of this pre-cooked roux to boiling water, along with some sauteed onions and celery or other veggies of your choice (Green peppers, etc.)
Net weight: 17 ozs.

 Make no mistake! This is NOT just another tomato "spaghetti sauce". Far from it! "Sauce Piquant" is a traditional Cajun red gravy with absolutely no relation to the basic old "tomato sauce" type gravies most people are so accustom to. Sauce Piquant is a red gravy developed in South Louisiana about 200 years ago. As with most Cajun foods, families over the years make their own "adjustments" to come up with their family favorite. This recipe was developed by the Benoit family (Pronounced "Ben-Wa"), and is manufactured right in the Benoit family home in Lafayette, Louisiana.
I have a hard time keeping this in stock. I eat it all! My favorite use of this gravy is to quickly sear, in a very hot skillet (Don't cook through), pork chops or chicken, reduce the heat to simmer, and add the gravy and let simmer for about 45 minutes. Pure a lot of gravy in your plate and "sop" it up with some hot French bread. Add some rice or mashed
potatoes to your plate and cover them with the gravy. I can just about guarantee that you'll be back for more of this. It's WONDERFUL!
